I am excited to be joining the staff here at BMS!  I am coming from Lexington Middle where I taught sixth grade and seventh-grade world history.   I recently celebrated my 20th year of teaching in SC public schools!  I earned my M.A.T-Secondary Social Studies from the University of South Carolina and am a National Board Certified Teacher in Middle-Level Social Studies.  I grew up in Lexington School District 5, where I graduated from Irmo High School. My family includes my husband, George, our two children who attend USC, and our dog, a yellow lab-beagle mix, named Lilly.  My family enjoys going to baseball parks around the country. Last year we traveled to Toronto, New York City, and Palm Springs to watch professional tennis. This year I am the sponsor for our BMS Junior Beta Club.  Go Bengals!!!
